I saw John in London in SUNSET BOULEVARD, with Betty Buckley and later on with Elaine Paige. Also, I have his album REFLECTIONS FROM BROADWAY. He also sings on the Cameron Mackintosh tribute HEY MR PRODUCER (great DVD/video - many Broadway and West End stars, from Bernadette Peters, Maria Friendman, Colm Wilkinson, Michael Ball, Lea Salonga, Ruthie Henshall, Judi Dench, and even a different-looking Curly with Hugh Jackman). And from way back, I have a single from his ill-fated musical MATADOR ( whose musical claim to fame is the Tom Jones solo A BOY FROM NOWHERE, revived in recent years by Michael Ball in his concerts and his CENTRE STAGE album). He sings "I Was Born to Be Me" and "I'll Dress You in Mourning".

I saw John in Putting it Together and his Marry Me a Little made me cry. I also have the Reflections CD and listen to it all the time. I can't wait for this one to come out.

This cd is one of the best cds to be released in a very long time. John Barrowman is at his best. The arrangements and orchestrations are incredible.
